    Joyful event organizer

    In this article we will be talking about two jobs that you can do based on information and communication.

    During a project in English, we were asked to search our career prospects. Each one of us had a meeting with the guidance counselor and was asked to go to the forum horizon.

    If I have any advice to give on this one, I would say to go to the guidance counselor if you need help with the schools and help with the path to follow to your dream job.  As for the forum horizon, it was more about having an insight into the jobs we were interested in.

    Today I’m going to present two very different jobs. Event organizer and traductor.

    An event organizer is a person who organizes events (obviously). But the qualifications needed are specific.

    It is about managing budget, time, space and client’s wills all at once. The organization must be on top. You need contacts, and it is a job that requires you to be an extrovert. It takes time and effort to bring the idea of a project to life, more like a challenge. I liked this job because it has diversity and leads to expressing creativity. Also, I love being in contact with people because humanity is beautiful.

    I went to see the presentation of a traductor too. It was funny. They talked about AI and how it could never replace the human brain, even if it’s good. Being a traductor is a little chiller job. No need for too much contact with people, mostly chilling with translation to do. But you can also be a traductor for physical living people, so it has many options. I liked it, I did find it a tiny bit boring because I need movement, but it was still very interesting. 

  • Fear and procrastination

    Fear and procrastination

    During second year we were asked to do a presentation of our biggest fear, mine being disappointing my family. I talked about how our families can put pressure on us. Our parents, our siblings, especially the expectations from our younger siblings. I talked about how when I failed, the first people that came to my mind were my parents.

    I wasn’t disappointed for me, I was disappointed for them. The pressure on my shoulders and the anxiety that came with it were pretty hard to manage. But then, I realized rhat I was building a future for myself.

    Of course, if I have the luxury of making them benefit from it it would be terrific, but the one I must put first is myself. The anxiety it brought was pretty hard to manage too. 

    And people have different archetypes of response when it comes to fear and anxiety. Mine was procrastination. I doubted myself so much that I always waited too long to do important things.

    I ended up with a crazy amount of work to do and couldn’t organize myself properly. I was always stressed, always feeling guilty and I didn’t know where to start. What I found as solutions to the fear and  anxiety was working on myself. Working FOR myself.

    I was writing my future, it was my job to make it bright. Because my siblings will grow into adults and live their own lives. My parents deserve a comfortable life, but not if their child’s mental and physical sanity is at stake.

    As for the procrastination, I made myself a schedule that I forced myself to follow thoroughly. Saying it worked a 100% would be a lie, but I  made progress. I stopped blaming myself for the little mistakes and instead learned from them and did better. Discipline is not about being perfect and having crazy results, it is about consistency and improvement. Little by little.
